Bee stings

After we had family prayers tonight - Michael informed me he got stung by a bee at school today. Twice. Under his shirt. I felt sad for him. Apparently he was getting on the swing at school and the bee went up his shirt. He put ice on it at school and that helped. I was tucking him in tonight and he was crying because he said the bee sting was stinging and making his tummy hurt. So we visited for a little bit and I told him dad could give him a blessing and that Heavenly Father could make it better. I told him Heavenly Father knows when good things, bad things, hurting times, happy times happen to us. I told him Heavenly Father knew he got stung by the bee before I did! He thought that was kind of funny. So Russell gave Michael a blessing and I tucked him back in bed and he's sleeping soundly.

I think this was in 2004. It was Nephi's first trip to the beach. The boys were all so little! My have they grown.

It all started for us when Russell left for Cape Town South Africa on a mission. Candace felt inspired to write him - so she did! We wrote for 3 1/2 years. Candace came home from her mission to the Texas Houston East Mission and we dated for 5 months. We married in July 1994 and have been happy ever after!
